Flask Template
_{(python, docker, rest-api, flake8)}

^*

A simple flask-template for REST-API design and implementation. Please include the Template Link in your design. Template includes .gitignore and .gitattributes related to python and flask-api model. You can also update/change/delete LICENSE as required. Other files are related to docker and flake8 (code linting) is included with basic setup. The template is built on GitHub, thus .github directory is included with issue template, and workflows directory.

NOTE: some optional usage, specifications, and helpful links are as below:

1. You can add GitHub Repository Badges from Shields IO - if this is a Public Repository;
2. TAB (size = 4) has been used for indentation.
3. .github/workflows is added however, it is recomended that you create your own workflows either using GitHub Actions or on your own.
4. Basic docker files are added for convention, modify it as per requirement. Recomended to delete the file, if not required.
5. The repository uses markdown instead of rich text format, so make necessary changes to file extension/type as required.
6. Engine Configuration for SQLAlchemy Documentation.
